Want to live your life to its fullest? You will be amazed at what a little more exercise can do to improve your life. Besides better mobility in your limbs, a better nights sleep and improved muscle tone, more oxygen will be flowing to your brain and into your bloodstream, providing your whole body with nourishing oxygen. No matter what your age is or where you live, health-improving exercise is available to you now-today!
Even if you live in a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href= >senior apartment</a> or assisted living facility, several exercise healthcare options are available to you. Oftentimes classes are scheduled for low-impact aerobics, water aerobics or yoga as part of a daily schedule at many nursing homes and other assisted living facilities. Even <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href= >in-home health care</a> nurses make weekly or even daily exercise apart of their visits with each senior.
With Weekly Exercise No Matter Your Age You Can Slow Down the Affects of Aging and Improve Your Health
You don’t have to be a marathon runner to feel the positive benefits of exercise. 15 minutes of brisk walking everyday can even be beneficial. Even walking your dog around the yard or briskly walking to get your mail are all simple and effective ways of getting your exercise. Many people get set in their ways and routines and get so busy they forget to add exercise into their lives or they get complacent or plain lazy and don’t like the work involved. But it doesn’t have to be hard work-- it can be fun!
Fun Ways to Incorporate Exercise in You Daily Life
• Dancing
• Efficiently cleaning (i.e. vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, scrubbing are all effective means of burning calories and getting your heart pumping)
• Swimming, especially water aerobics
• Walking a low-impact hiking loop in a city park or neighborhood
• Stretching exercise like yoga can be low-impact
• Thai Chi
• Treadmill or stationary bike
• Chasing your grandchildren or dog around a park
• Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
Health experts say to raise your heart rate to 60 and 90 percent of the safe maximum which is 220 beats/minute, minus your current age.
Exercise not only helps your body, it helps your mood as well. When you exercise, endorphins are released into your blood stream and heighten your mood, diminishing depression.
If has been a long time since you engaged in physical activity, you want to take it slow. Create small goals for yourself, even if that means walking across the room with the aid of a walker or cane and then move on from there. The ultimate goal is to get your heart rate up and exercise your heart. When you take little steps to exercise more in your life, you end up making big changes in the end.
